I use $1 divided toddler plates from Walmart



I use a mesh desk sorter tray under the plate to catch some of the food dropped around the dish. It greatly reduces the amount of food in the drop pan each morning.

On 'foraging nights' I use small handing bird dishes and put dinner all over the cage.

The best feeding tip I have ever learned..Make the kitchen..Gladware type container, upside down..cut a "door", melt & smoothe the edges w/ a lighter..My GranDaughter laughed the other day, "Meema, She looks like she had a food fight, with herself, in her kitchen."..It saves alot of clean-up.
I'm sure someone on here has a pic of one.

Willow refused the water bottle from day 1..I use the tops from glass jar candles..They are very heavy-bottomed..I have one on each level of the cage.

I use a water bowl for water and just a regular plastic bowl from their food. I used to use plates, but I like bowls more because it holds the food a lot better.

hmmm..The water Silo looks like a possibility..She had trouble with the bottles (I tried 2 diff types) with getting water up her nose..Once I put the water dishes in, she never touched the bottles again..I have yet to see fecal contamination, although I absolutely agree it can easily happen..I rinse the one closest to her kitchen daily, as once in a while there will be a little food sediment in the water.
